Barren Beth, Wild Desert John

Barren Beth, Wild Desert John Lyrics

Oh, the joy! (Oh, the joy)
To feel the faint beat pulsing
Cousin Mary (Cousin Mary)
Set two hearts racing
Winged Gabriel (Young Gabriel)
He started something
Angry ranting (And raving)
Four bad winds chasing

You know he's going to be so special
Not number one, maybe number two
Filled with passion, preparation
A dip in Jordan's heady brew

Cousin Mary (Mary)
Gets all the credit
Iconic mother (Mother)
That's all understood
While Barren Beth (Barren Beth)
Wrinkly life-bringer
Helped two Jays (Two little Jays)
To find their nests

What would be one without the other?
What would one be without the tale?
Dark narrative of grave and Passion
Head on platter, cross and nail

Oh, the joy! (Oh, the joy)
To feel the faint beat pulsing
Cousin Mary (Cousin Mary)
Set two hearts racing
Winged Gabriel (Young Gabriel)
He started something
Angry ranting (And raving)
Four bad winds chasing

You know he's going to be so special
Not number one, maybe number two
Filled with passion, preparation
A dip in Jordan's heady brew
